Manage episode 454618134 series 2642029
In the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe dive into their weekend observations and prospects that caught their attention. They kick things off with Texas freshman Tre Johnson, who showcased his elite shot-making ability in a strong performance against UConn despite the loss. This leads to a debate comparing Tre to Ace Bailey, with the brothers questioning why Ace is considered a better NBA prospect. They highlight Tre’s efficiency after concerns about both players’ playing styles entering the season. The conversation shifts to Dylan Harper, who continues solidifying his case as a potential 2025 No. 1 pick after a strong outing against Ohio State. They then focus on Cooper Flagg, projected as the top pick in 2025, debating his long-term NBA position and his clear role as Duke’s offensive anchor. Rafael and James also critique the underwhelming seasons of Duke freshmen Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach, who were projected lottery picks. Next, they discuss Derik Queen’s dominance and share a scout's concern that his lack of measurables and elite athleticism might make NBA teams undervalue him. The episode wraps up with praise for Georgetown freshman Thomas Sorber, who has emerged as one of the most impressive freshmen in the country, excelling as an inside scorer, passer, rebounder, defender, and potential shooter, and currently outshining Khaman Maluach.
